"the washington post" editorial page had an interesting point today, saying that secretary clinton really conveyed the seriousness of what was happening in north africa, while the obama administration was being a little bit reluctant in t

the peace process may be impeded by it and ultimately egypt has upheld the treaty with israel and the hope is that it will continue to uphold it and we made that point as well. the president hopes. >> you hear these comments from the president of egypt and wonder why is the u.s. going ahead with the delivery of more f-16 jet fighters to egypt. do you support the delivery of that sophisticated war planes to egypt right now? >> i do, but the question is very, very pertinent and a good one. the reason for the sales is that they are tied directly to the camp david peace accords. they are executed through the sales. remember that these f 16s are not the most advanced. they would be decimated by the air force if there were a conflict. the military is dependent on the united states for training and pilots and for support of those planes. they are far from the use of the equipment. equally important is the military relationship demonstrated in the role played in helping to gain a ceasefire when the hamas and israel were in conflict. there is a relationship and egypt committed itself and conti
